You have to be careful with eating fat. If you go overboard, you will gain weight quickly. If you under do it, your health and weight loss will deteriorate.
Even worse, there has been a recent push to eat more saturated fat despite a huge amount of research advising otherwise.
Thus, here is how to make sure your fat intake doesn’t limit your weight loss:
1. Have plant saturated fat: Animal saturated fat is bad for you, plant saturated fat is not. So don’t be afraid to have some coconut with your morning oatmeal. You see, plant saturated fat has more carbon than animal saturated fat.
2. Go easy with fish oil: I’ve seen top fitness experts recommend intakes of 20-30 grams of fish oil. This is absurd and can cause more damage to your heart than good. So never go over the 3 gram mark and try to only have 1 gram of fish oil if your diet doesn’t already have omega 3 fats.
3. Stick with cold pressed oils: Cold pressing oils is more expensive than heat treating oils. So assume that an oil has been heat treated unless stated otherwise. Now heat treated oils can be much worse than hydrogenated oils in terms of health.
4. Balance out mono and polyunsaturated fats: You want to aim for a fifty percent split between both here. This will maximize your health and fat burning. And try to limit intake of omega 6 fats which can be found in things like canola oil.
5. Eliminate trans fat completely: There is no safe intake level for trans fats. The best approach here is to completely eliminate them from your diet. If you don’t, your cells will change at the structural level. And once this happens, fat loss will be extremely difficult.
Your diet has to include fats for healthy and for sustainable weight loss. So make sure you start optimizing your fat intake as soon as possible. You have to take action here or you will forget the information!
